inspired by Nomi’s thread in Life1 about a married woman looking after her parents ..
i wanted to know Islamically ..is it necessary for a married woman to look after her parents both physically as well as financially if the need arises? what are the teachings of Islam in the light of Quran and Sunnah. Esp if she’s the only daughter. Please quote if possible.
Also I have heard that a man can stop his wife from meeting her relatives and parents..if he wants ! Is this true ?
Re: responsibility of a married woman towards her parents
**Islam encourages you to be generous, kind and responsible. the only relationship that Muslims are ordered to take care with kindness is his/her parents. so, a daughters and sons have equal responsibility towards their parent to the best of their ability. it's more true if parents are older and/or NOT in good health.
Qur'aan meN aayaa hai k maaN baap kii dil-joii karo, un se moHabbat se pesh aao, unko UFFF tak na kaho, unkii Khidmat karo...bil-Khusoos jab vo apnii umroN ko pahoNche [become old].**
Re: responsibility of a married woman towards her parents
but how can a woman balance taking care of her parents as well as fulfill the duties towards her husband and children..esp if the parents are away !
in such circumstances ...doesnt it become difficult ?
also if the woman is not earning money ..how can she financially help her parents??
i have heard that for a daughter it is not an obligation to support her parents financially and physically that's only the job of the son...i need references from the hadith and quran ..
